When she attended the Daily Mail's Inspirational Women Of The Year Awards less than two months ago, she was looking noticeably curvier than she does now.

But perhaps looking after a nine-month-baby and her two-year-old son Arlo is taking its toll on her figure.

Sleepless nights? Kaplinsky looked understandably tired with a baby and toddler to look after

Feeling chilly: Natasha was wrapped up in a faux fur stole as she arrived at Sussex Place in Regent's Park for the luncheon

Glamorous: Kaplinsky looked curvier at the Daily Mail Inspirational Women Of The Year Awards in November 2010

At the luncheon, she joined fellow newsreader Kay Burley and Sarah Brown.

While Kaplinsky has never been known to be heavy, she admitted in an interview two years ago she has 'an unbelievable amount of fat days'.

She told the Daily Telegraph: 'I think I look OK on television. Otherwise, I'm too short and fat and I've got cellulite.

'I'm 5ft 4 inches and I wish I was taller. I pay a hefty gym subscription, but I'd pay twice as much never to have to go again.'

Kaplinsky's attendance at the Wellbeing of Women - Women's Annual Lunch Debate today marked one of her first public appearances since stepping down as anchor of Five News in December.

Kaplinsky became the face of the 5pm bulletin, Five News With Natasha
Kaplinsky, when she joined the channel in a £1million deal in late
2007.

She revealed she was pregnant just six weeks into the job and gave birth to son Arlo in September 2008.

On her return she asked to host the 5pm bulletin and skip the 7pm news for a few months.

Soon
afterwards, Miss Kaplinsky, who is married to banker Justin Bower, quit
the 7pm slot for good and reportedly agreed to a £300,000 pay cut. Not
long after this she announced she was pregnant again.

In October last year, just a few months after giving birth to Anjelica in April, she announced she was leaving for good.

Kaplinsky is currently enjoying life as a full-time mum while exploring other options.
